Rob Gronkowski On Mike Vrabel's Patriots, Belichick At UNC & Joining Brady On Buccaneers | Bussin'

Recorded: May 19th, 2025

The wait is over! Arguably the greatest tight end in NFL history, Gronk is officially on the bus. In one of the most anticipated episodes of Bussin’ With The Boys, Rob Gronkowski pulls up for a full-send, no-holds-barred sit-down interview with Will Compton and Taylor Lewan—and it’s everything you’d hope for. From his hockey roots and college football days at Arizona to wild NFL draft stories, Super Bowl memories, and of course, partying like only Gronk can—this one is absolutely electric.

Things heat up as Gronk gives an unfiltered look at the Patriots dynasty—how intense it really was in New England, what it meant to be “Tom’s guy,” and why he genuinely loved blocking more than receiving. He breaks down life with Aaron Hernandez, what Bill Belichick is like off the field, and the truth about the Brady-Belichick breakup that sent Tom to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and ended with Bill taking over at UNC.

But it wouldn’t be a Gronk episode without some wild moments. He nearly got traded to the Lions, has more cameos than any man alive, and somehow never touched his NFL salary after entering the league. Add in some spicy Tier Talk and closing thoughts on life after football—plus a legendary Steve Harvey LEGO head spike—and you’ve got one for the record books.

A certified Tier 1 banger. Gronk, The Boys, and absolute chaos.
